Hi when i sync my Iphone to my itunes library the music I have

Resolved Question:

Hi when i sync my Iphone to my itunes library the music I have in my Itunes library on my laptop they dont copy to my phone. the only songs on my Iphone are the ones i purchased from the store. Should these other songs end up on my Iphone?

Also for your information, some songs in my library i purchased through Zune and I put them in the itunes library. these are the songs that I'm trying to get to my iphone.

First, make sure that the songs are in your iTunes library and "checked". Open iTunes, go to the Music section on the left column of iTunes under "Library" and make sure the songs that are not syncing can "checked" in this list.

Ok I have connected my Iphone to my laptop and it says at the top of itunes that it is syncing with my iPhone. It has been syncing now for over and hour. So I'm not sure if its working correctly or not. Also you mention in your answer," From there click on the iPhone icon in the left column of iTunes. Then go to the Music tab in the main window of iTunes. Make sure that Sync Music is checked along with Entire Music Library". I'm not sure where the "main window of itunes" is as I don't see a place to check sync music and entire music library. On the itunes screen I have,, which btw I'm running it on windows Vista, I don't see a music tab; but, I do have a Iphone icon on the left of my screen. Anyway hopefully you can help again.

Ok I have gone to File > add Files to Library and have them all in my Itunes library. I have then synced my iPhone but none of those songs in up on my phone under music. The question is why are they not on my phone and what do i need to do different to get them there so I can listen to my music on my iPhone. thanks

Ok I got them to transfer. I think the reason why they weren't transfering is that i had to click the sync button off of the music tab. Once i did that I was able to transfer all of the files. Ok thanks for your help
